Thusia Game-wide Community Discussion

Sup Thusia! Let's talk about Thusia.

The game's been a bit slow lately and while I know a heavy part of that's due to the September back-to-classes crunch and other RL gremlins punching people in the face, it seems like we could use a talk about what we can do to restart/boost interest for everyone, as well as talk about any other gamestuff we might like to bring up/have bee thinking of bringing up for a while, no matter how big or small.

COMMUNITY TALK, LET'S GO

~~((I'm gonna make a couple of top level comments for specific stuff so stand by!!1))~~ DONE, FIRE AWAY

What kind of stuff in Thusia gets you engaged/got you engaged in the past? What was/is the stuff you had fun with? ELUCIDATION GOES HERE etc.

Things you'd like to see happen/make happen/help make happen in the game /o/

And conversely, stuff that you'd prefer not to see/be involved in, if any 8<a

If you've got any thoughts or suggestions on this front...

^^^????

Finally, comment here if you existed in this post.

[raises hand?]

I really love large group posts, plot and exploring posts. Basically anything that drags a whole bunch of people together, because there are definitely divisions in character groups and for me it's taken something either very big plot wise or my character nearing on death to get someone's attention. Nearly having Leo drowned was by far the strongest opener to CR I've gotten in game, and I had to actually thusiaping IRC to get anyone's attention to step in.

Also adding that Priesting has really helped stick with the game when I hit lulls. More to come when it isn't the wee morning hours.

I second

foil's comment.

G-God apps... p-pleasseeee. I find the gods (active ones at least) to be some of the easiest CR to create. Those that have priests encourage some grouping from series that don't always cross or people that stay all on their lonesome. I also suggested god sponsorship awhile ago to give people some instant CR and contrast.

I will exist in this post tomorrow since it's late here and I need some amount of brain power for this

Thus far my favorite post and the thing that got me really loving this game was the 'let's save Yukari event', I loved how many people were in it from different fandoms and we all were working for a goal. We also got interaction with two gods and had a for-real adventure!

It was the possibility of having that kind of post that got me to app in the first place. My utter love is when you can get an almost new character out of someone because you get cross-canon relationships through the dynamic events of the game.

IT IS A GIVEN I EXIST BUT THIS IS AN NOTICE TO SAY I WILL CONTINUE EXISTING TOMORROW as it is crashtime

For those who missed what was said on plurk: Click here!. I believe everyone should be able to read Claude's plurk even if you don't have an account yourself :|a

I would like to see events that are less people vs world and more people vs people. I don't mean in terms of literal conflict or competition (though that's always OK) but in terms of things that really do force people to interact. Events that change the characters/force interaction soforth. Things like the cards/ax crazy events from camp, or something similar in function to games (though, for obvs IC reasons steering away from Games is probably a good idea.)

Basically what I mean is a lot of the events, like the god-themed mingles have still been just that. Kinda themed mingles. I'd like to see things that REALLY force characters to interact.

I LIKE PLOTS THAT ENGAGE LOTS OF PLAYERS/CHARACTERS

And this doesn't necessarily mean just mod-run plots (like the flood plot), because I know that's rough on the mods. But player-run plots have been aces too, like Karl's murderstatue plot or Yukari's S'vx plot etc etc. Especially ones that could have lasting effects on the environment (like how flood plot ended with us RELOCATING HQ, that was rad).

Because while shorter, one-off events are super fun, and I love them, I also like the idea of things having a longer-lasting impact? Like this is a story and we are making strides forward and CHANGES ARE HAPPENING. 8|a I think that's good for giving characters traction as well? At a certain point the environment can stagnate, and then characters follow suit, but if things are changing, then characters have to adapt, too.

... This got more rambly than I intended and it could technically fit under the category below, too, but w/e!! tl;dr EVENTS THAT HAVE IMPACTS ON CHARACTERS/THE ENVIRONMENT HAVE BEEN WONDERFUL, LET'S HAVE MORE.

BOOP

you saw nothin

THE FLOOD PLOT WAS GREAT but I think my favorite part of it- at least to read, because I didn't play much- was the S'vx/Yukari/Ygin thing what happened. Flood was great because it created an interesting backdrop for characters to do things that were character-y. Like we can all be heroic and fight against lots of monsters, but it was really really cool to see characters get messy, make mistakes and POOR LIFE CHOICES. That's what I loved about that plot.

This was one of the things that I wanted to bring up myself so just +1ing it here

Yay. So glad people like Leo's extremely bad choices. ♥

They were the best bad choices.

i've been really intrigued by the idea of team-based games for a long time, and the idea of shoving characters into situations with people that they have little to no CR with and need that group to get through something-or-other.

I know one of the biggest complaints about this game in acj/rpanons/whatever has been that characters in thusia are really closed off into their own CR circles/casts and not entirely open to newbies that aren't part of their cast/instantly adopted/etc. I'm guilty of this too!

SORRY I'M A LITTLE TIPSY IF THIS IS MAKING NO SENSE basically what i'm trying to get at is it would be nice if we had a few events shoving mostly-unfamiliar characters together into some kind of thing(nature run? quest? idk?) where it would force them to make cr with others. for those that are a little lazy/unwilling/unsure how to approach non-cast members or whatever-the-fuck.

OR SOME VARIATION THEREOF idc i just want to be shoved into cr SHOVE EVERYBODY INTO NEW CR
